Germans were overwhelmingly Christian: not Muslim, not Hindu, not Jewish, not Buddhist.

No, that's pretty accurate. The other 4% were Jews and other Christian faiths. Hitler was Austrian, and raised a Catholic.
One little side-bar, as long as we're discussing Nazi Germany: One of the first things Hitler did when coming to power was to ban all abortions, citing them as an "abomination." Thought that was interesting, considering what happened later.

You are very right. And one of the dreams of Hitler was to build a new world order making himself the New world Leader, the ressurected Christ. But when He declared war, it was not for Christian religion's sake but purely for his Megalomaniacal desires. They just happen to be Christians and Hitler's target were the Jews only because he knew that the Jews will be his headache for as long there are few alive. Muslims had a recorded agreement with the Germans also that they will not be touched the same way as the Christians and the Protestant Lutherans. In that war with Hitler, it was more of Allied Countries against the German Axis with Japanese. Most soldiers just happened to be Christians but it is not a kind of Holy War like the Muslims declaration all the time even if it just for the simple greed of few.

I was raised in a Lutheran religion and I did not know this. I wonder why I wasn't told this information.
Hmmmm??? I don't know what to think about that.
No matter anyways....without the information, I am no longer a part of the Lutheran Faith. (it's just another thing I wasn't told).

I believe that.
However most Lutherans and Catholics have not been "born again"
They attend church but do not know God intimately, this is the popular belief.
They are tradition go-ers but dont know God from a rock
Nor are they encouraged to read the Bible.
They go to church mostly to stop feeling guilty and convince themselves they are "good people" I feel most of them are still in need of being saved. They know church, not God.
I am sorry to judge, this is the popular opinion in Christianity. Lutheran, Anglican and Catholic have a little asterisk * beside them

I can sit in a garage and call myself a car.... guess what, dosen't make me a car.
Do I need to continue?? If I think it is a good idea to slaughter millons of people and call myself a "christian" in doing so guess what, doesent take a brain surgeon to figure out I am not a Christian.

Typical racist, bigoted attitude. You don't like the truth, so you discount it...figure it's a lie...and keep digging until you find something that substantiates your twisted "facts".
You have already admitted your biases in another thread. You can STFU now. We all now who you hate and why.
Please go crawl back under your rock.

You are brilliant! Eloquent! Dead on target! Could not have said it better myself!

You don't think there were 6% that were atheist, pagan, or agnostic?
